A Fistful of Pennies

Told with (Frank) Capra-like conviction and stylistically modeled after his famous World War II “promotional” film of the same name, Why We Fight covers the issues behind the WGA strike. Viewers get a glimpse of how television studios haven’t and still don’t properly compensate writers for their work, the details of which are explained in a straightforward and effective manner.

Though the delivery of this information could be interpreted as propagandistic, one-sided, and perhaps misleading, there is no denying that a four-cent increase is not too much to ask. Sometimes a strike is the only way to get anyone’s attention, and that means ours, too.
